The Austin Statesman is born sailor.
No press craft In Texas ever displayed
such dexterity in shifting its sails to
catch the breezes of official pleasure as
has the Statesman. Its glorification of
Ross and Reagan, after the event, is
amusing to those who do not staLd
sponsor for its consistency. TO those
who do, the reflections that force them
selves upon the mind must be decidedly
narrowing. All the same. the Statesman
has no rival as a Texas trimmer.

PEACH BRANDY RANDALL is not in good
odOr among his democratic brethren.
The people asked for bread and he gave
them stone; so say the free traders.
They asked for free salt, wool, coal, iron,
cotton and sugar, and he gave them APP
pie Jack and tobacco. Why find fault;
are not these the regular democratic
staples of life? What more could rea-
sonable constituency ask at his hands?

EVEN nature, revolving against the I'M
natural Gryness in Waco and vicinity,
has come to the rescue, and without any
visible rain supply is filling the creeks
and streams with running water and
the sloGghs with dampness. The oracle
reads both ways. The vets would call
it an indication that nature abhorred
the dry tactics of the Crandslites; the
Crandalltes would affirm that nature
gave water in the dryest times, but no
whiskey. HOnors are easy, but the phe-
nomenon is not the less singular on that
account.

The congregational ministers of New
York do not seem to rest easy under the
conclusions of historic christianity con-
corning the final awards OF life imme-
diately after death. The sudden and
irremedial hell fire termination does not
pan out satisfactorily, and they want to
open the discussion of the question of
probation for humans after death. This
is the modern universalIst, or restora-
ton, theory.

that its denunciations we're construc-
lively heaped upon the heads of those
who raised the cry, if so be that the

WE are glad to see that our contempt
rary, the Iate7igeRecT, has become enough
frightened ut drifting about without an
Choir OF compass on the prohibition ques-
ton, and come nearer shore where its boat
may be safe. Asking the Republicans OF
the State to express through the HteiigeR-
Ger whether or not the prohibition plank
should be placed in the Republican plat
form, has met with very slow and cold
response. 1t is very natural then for the
Iatelligeaeer, after all this, to renew
the declaration that it never was in
favor of a prohibition plank. The great
question is, will such plank gain or lose
votes TO the Republican party? 1t seems
To have been determined that the Republic
cans would lose by this plank. We are
glad to see our contemporary come to a
decision, and Just here we ask our es-
teemed friend if it would not be more con
sistent to its alleged way OF thinking by
backing up its opinions with plenty Of
argument on that side of the question
rather than putting out Ieelers for expires
sions of opinions from prominent RrPubli-
cans as to the ACCESSIBILITY of adopting n
prohibition plank in the Republican plat
form? See the point, neighbOr?

is impossible for the State TO agree TO this
demand without increasing taxes or Grip
ping the public schools and cutting OF the
pensions from disabled soldiers. In the
impoverished condition of the large agri-
cultural population an increase IA taxation
would be cruelty. In the public schools,
on the other hand, there are enrolled now
only 81 per cent. Of the children in the
State, aud in many counties the school
term is limited, by the lack of money for
their support, to three OF four months a
year. But, says the critic, who stands atar
off looking through his glass dlmly, close
your schools till you pay your debt or
increase your taxes, even though IT take
the blanket from your bed. Many
would agree to do this TO save the State
from the blind attacks of those who ignO-
rantly Islander her. But when it required,
at most, not more than about thirty-seyen
thousand whites in 1881, by joining with
the eolored vote, to defeat for the second
time the Democratic party, with nearly
one hundred Thousand whites in its ranks,
in its effort 10 secure q settlement paying
an annual interest Of between nine and ten
hundred thousand dollars, how is 1t pos
sible. in the light of all the facts we have
set forth, TO mass together a majority in
favor of paying rearly the same amount,
when the attempt to pay 1t involves an IN
crease in taxes or a cutting down OF the
appropriation to the public schools and the
disabled soldiers A large majority of the
whites of Virginia-the intelligence and
thrift of this State-have shown by their
sacrifices how willing and how eager they
have been to pay the debt. But they have
proved by the seyerest tests that they are
pOwerlesS. They owe their creditors, 1t Is
true, but do not their creditors owe them
much also?
Though Virginia has been over generous
to us in apprOpriating MS $l5,OOO,OOO OF
her debt without consulting us, We want
to see the Old Dominion have fair play in
the trouble she is in. From the facts
cited above it will be seen the Democratic
party of the State has made noble efforts
to stem the current, but has twice gone
down in the struggle. They deserve praise
for the efforts made, though unsuccessful
they were. While the press OF the country,
and especially the Republican press, is
disposed to criticise, the blame should fall
upon those who have handicapped the
Yirginiau Democracy in its efforts to deal
as Justly rs possible with the States cred
itOrs.

Wool.
Brddsreet's, Jxne II.

No change of any importance has oe-
CURED in the various wool markets this
week. The new clip is rapidly getting in
to second hands at prices above parity
with those at which stocks on the seaboard
have lately been sold for consumption. In
consequence Of the strength in the interior
quotations in the eastern markets are hrm-
err. Nevertheless the volume Of business
under way is moderate The immediate
outlook for the manufacturers shows no
improvement.
\. Holders Of wool at Boston are asking the
advanced prices for their old stock which
were quoted last week, and are obtaining
them. The market to this extent symPa-
thizes with the interior. Demand and
strength are particularly noteworthy IN
the case of medium sorts. Arrivals OF the
new clip are beginning to attract attention;
in not few instances they are held above
the market. The manufacturers are look
ing over the field as usual, but manifest
no inclination to anticipate distant wants
to any extent Current quotations for
leading descriptions are rs follows IN COM
parison with year ago:

/, 994, 900 pounds reported last week and

last year.
The Philadelphia wool market continues
quiet, owing to small stocks and the reluc-
